what i'm thankful for

my beautiful children
that Lily turned 4, enjoyed her party, has good friends, and is delightful 95% of the time.
that Jackson is doing well with his speech therapy and although the 'terrible twos' show up occasionally, i'm pretty much still wrapped around his little finger.
siblings that feel comfortable taking pictures of me eating while commenting I will want to have documentation of how much I ate for junior's first trimester (nope! not pregnant), chubby nephews, two brand new nieces.
Adam's idea for family night to go downtown to the Christmas Village. The kids were so excited to see all of the little houses decorated and the lights.
this big helper.
naps that are few and far between. also tools, except when used to make dents in the wall.new chairs for the kitchen.
also re: thanksgiving. i am thankful for
being invited to the delicious homemade dinner by jesse and mindy
mindy being pregnant. more children should definitely go to moms like her
my kids (and nephew cole) were so wonderful on the 9 hr car ride from st. george to springville/ogden
not sliding off the road, not getting in an accident
dare i admit? - plastic cheese whiz that kept people happy (and me and cole busy making cheese sandwhiches) for about 45 minutes

Cheese whiz! ha!
Fun way to update. That cake is so awesome! I bet she loved it. That Christmas Village sounds cool. You're kitchen looks beautiful! Why did you get new chairs? Did the last ones break? Did you not like the way the kids used them? You're kids sure are getting cute.

Super sweet. Miss you and your kids so much. I wish we could come visit you while we are there. Love you!

What a cool post. You keep so busy! I also love the garlic press and Lily's cake! And nice new chairs! It has almost been a year since we were at your house.
